# The Solidarity Movement says there is growing frustration within the US government over South Africa’s lack of political will to reach a trade agreement. Trade, Industry and Competition minister Parks Tau says progress has been made in talks with president Donald Trump’s administration over a trade deal. Solidarity Movement’s chairperson, Flip Buys, says it’s highly reckless of the ANC to actively antagonise the US, warning that this could result in further punitive tariffs against South Africa. He adds that the country simply cannot afford further damage to the economy.
